Peter Hitchens: Good Friday Is A Day For Solemn Reflection, Not Chocolate Eggs

Alex Phillips and Mail on Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens discuss the significance of Good Friday and the dilution of Christianity in modern society.

Alex criticises the commercialisation of Easter, while Peter highlights the profound impact of Good Friday’s themes of suffering and betrayal.

He argues that Christianity's enduring power lies in its confrontation with human despair and death, and criticises the modern church for being too soft and failing to emphasise the religion's core teachings.

He also highlights the historical parallels between ancient and modern societal evils, suggesting that a return to the original, grim portrayal of Christianity could increase respect for the faith.
